3×3 · top 8.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019GOLE02
Roko Goleš has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.18, set at Bibinje Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in Croatia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2019, he has put 128 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 15.35 in May 2019 to 2.72, an 82% improvement. Roko has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
